Sandy Hill Items.

SANDY HILL April 2,.-Since our last
communication to your paper many
things have happened in and around
Sandy Hill.
Spring having come at last we are
consequently all busy farming
Mr. Harry R,so has taken charge of
the home place of T. Y. Rose, and is
pushing his work rapidly ahead.
Mr.. John ". Tyson, who is beginning
to feel the effects of old age and hard
WORK, has put part of his farm into the
hands of Mr.. viii Guibesen to farm on
shares.
Mr. Monroe Terry having bought the
Terry homestead will shortly begin
improvements upon it. which when com
pIeted will make it one of the most at
tractive farms in this neigh borhood.
We noticed while driving along the
road toward Mechanics Valley that it
had been mcuitd. that is, if driving a
scraper along and digging large stones
into the road can be called mending Ii
surely was done i'll style. We think that
the supervisor ought to leave the stones
IN the ditch, the driving would be SO
much more better.
We have little joke to tell about our
friend John. Now John goes over
against the Row to see somebody qlite
frequently. Ike also comes up to Sandy
HUI to look around. Ike told John to
call for him about the time the clock
cnimed out two, and they would 60 home
together. Two O'Clock came, but no
John; three also came and went but no
Johnny. Ike then tramped home in the
early dawn alone as the clock pointed to
four. John whistled on the brow OF
Sandy Hal, once, twice, thrice, but re-
ceived no reply, and as chanticler her
aided the approach of the sun, he also
heralded the approach of John at home.
